Description
More than just an autobiography, Making the Cut in South Africa: A medico-political journey is the fascinating story of one surgeon's professional and personal experiences within the divisive world of South African medicine, politics and society.
The author, a renowned urologist and transplant surgeon, takes the reader on a journey of medical discovery, from his development of pioneering surgical procedures and success in revolutionizing urological practice in Mozambique, to his involvement in medical politics and with this, a host of ethical and moral struggles.
Written as an honest and revealing account of the author's own experiences, this book boldly confronts issues such as the evils of racism, the dark side of the healthcare industry and the disastrous mismanagement of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. Tempered with humorous anecdotes, intriguing true stories and encounters with well-known medics and politicians, this engagingly written and absorbing book will delight and shock in equal measure.
